So let us conclude with this:

1. Everything works in Linux
2. There are no major problems
3. It gets boring till they upgrade the distribution, which is no

big deal because that happens every six months.

Conversely, No mail traffic could mean

1. We are scaring off newbies and they are scared to ask questions

(Look at all the flame wars in past. :-) )

2. The Linux usage is going down! (Hiding behind a flame proof

bunker)

3. All the Linux users has become smart! ;-)

Seems more like 3 + hardware mfgs realising that hiding internal details from FLOSS is their loss. I am pleasantly surprised to see nvidia running driver revisions regularly and even more important, releasing new chipsets with drivers. Wifi is a bit of a pain even now, but definetly a far lesser pain especially with broadcom.

And ofcourse M$ lies have caught up with them.
